Transfer Existing Accounts Into New Blog

Users don’t have to make new accounts. If you use Multisite, then you just add the current users to the new blog. Same ID, same password.

Can you explain this a bit more? On the WP site it says

If you plan on creating sites that are strongly interconnected, that share data, or share users, then a multisite network might not be the best solution.

If I have a main site, and want a subset of users to have their own blog, etc… Is this a good solution?

Yes.

What we mean by interconnected and share users is if you want a lot of posts to be ‘the same’ between multiple blogs.

Multisite is multiple sites. Multiple blogs. Each blog data is separate, but the users are from the same user base.

Awesome. Sorry this may sound noobish. So can multiple child-sites of one site share users.

I’mt thinking about the child-blogs more like sub-groups each with their own toolset of fresh plugins and whatnot.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your time!

100% yes ??

I guess I’ll have to try it out for myself, but I’m still caught up by the line:

Doesn’t that counteract what you say?
